Do You Know Your Skin Type? You Should!

Before you reach for that viral TikTok serum, it’s worth asking, “Is this product right for my skin type?” Once you are familiar with your skin type and its needs, you can see through any advertising hype and invest in what actually works.

See if you recognise your skin type in the list below and whether you are using the right products:

Dry Skin:

Craves moisture and barrier repair. Use gentle cleansers and nourishing serums.

Oily Skin:

Needs balance, not punishment. Lightweight hydrators and gentle exfoliants help prevent breakouts.

Sensitive Skin:

Less is more. Avoid fragrances and harsh actives – opt for calming ingredients like niacinamide.

Combination Skin:

A bit of both? Target each zone accordingly, hydrating the dry spots, clarifying the oily ones.

Influencer Skincare Myths – Busted!

It seems everyone is a skincare influencer these days. Unfortunately, many of them are well-intentioned, but ill-informed. Austin Clinic wants you to steer clear of these Skincare Myths:

Myth: “If it tingles, it’s working.”
Truth: Tingling can mean irritation, not effectiveness. Comfort = happy skin.

Myth: “Natural skincare is always safer.”
Truth: Some natural ingredients are fantastic – but natural doesn’t automatically mean gentle or effective. Science matters.

Myth: “More products = better results.”
Truth: Your skin prefers balance, not overload. Focus on quality, not quantity.

Myth: “What works for influencers will work for me.”
Truth: Filters, lighting, and sponsorships don’t tell the whole story. Your skin is unique – your skincare should be too.

At Austin Clinic, we believe that informed skincare is empowered skincare. Follow us all month long for myth-busting tips, expert insights, and exclusive offers that help you truly know your glow.

Offer: 15% OFF Austin Skin, Allmedic & Aspect products until 30 November
